Larger Ford Engines Installations

[skymike]

Has anyone got any experience of installing a larger ford engine in a Westfield? For example the Mondeo ST220 engine or the older ST24?

I have a number of very high level questions about this and wondered if there was any experience out there.

There is a Orange Westy out there somewhere with a V6 Ford (at least I think its Ford) unit in it.

Picture shameless stolen from another thread :

Theres no other deatails I can find but it was in the WSCC Calendar so someone on here is bound to know who it belongs to.

be a very  interesting swap if it doesn't weigh a ton - I like the noise these V6's make and it looks dead cool.

Will it go in a Narrow     ...  ? ( no real need to reply to this) .

that one looks like it might use the origional injection judging by what might be the air origional MF sensor with a K&N nailed to it ( might save a  few bob to if you could get the origional ECU to work).

As it fits a Mondeo Gearbox I'd *guess* it should fit in-line boxes too (as a zetec does).

google gave me this which has some V6 pics

here   - is that a narrow ? bloke on left looks familiar too

someone called David Crawley apparently had/has pne -also from a Google search.

If you mean John McKillop's, then no... For some reason all car's had SE in the scuttle, whether the were SE, SEi, SEW or SEiW. That is until recently when they dropped it completely.

If you look through the windscreen in the third shot, you can see the sculpted sides to the cockpit.

Although that said, V8's have been fitted to narrows, so in theory...

I’ve installed a 2.9 V6 24v Cosworth from a Scorpio into a Sierra 4x4 in the past – sounded great, great torque but was a very heavy engine.  With an Emerald ECU and decent exhaust manifolds I believe you can get 230bhp from an otherwise standard engine …..  I’d never consider trying to fit one into a Westfield though 

Martin you are right, my car is a wde body.

The engine is a vauxhall 3.0 V6 with jenvey throttly bodies and MBE ecu ford T5 gearbox with a bespoke adaptor plate.

The orange car pictured is the ford V6 and retains the original induction and management. I saw this car at the factory last year. It is LHD and I think they said it had been built by someone in Germany.

Ah Ha... Thought the pictures looked familar...

Nice installation. But I'd be slightly concerned about the lack of air filters.

Was this the one which was at Stoneleigh in 2006

If so I am sure this is the Jag / Mazda V6

The guy s who brought it across had a website which for the life of me I can't remember - as soon as I do I will post it.
